Isandlwana?
That was an impressive stand. It might have turned out differently if Durnford's 24th Foot hadn't run out of ammo and been able to hold the flank a little longer. His main force at the front had the Zulus completely pinned down because of their shooting accuracy.
Do you remember what the classic Zulu attack formation was called? I vaguely remember 'buffalo horn' or something along those lines?
I now yield the remainder of my time to my esteemed colleagues who wish to get back to the Dead......
